General

Noted for its special architectural and historic interest, Grade II listed ‘Redhill’ was built circa 1900, designed by Bedford and Kitson and regarded as one of their finest Arts and Crafts houses. The building was sympathetically converted into 6 apartments in the late 1970’s. Accessed via a welcoming communal staircase, this apartment is located on the first floor and retains many original features – internal panelled doors, fireplaces and windows to the front elevation. Briefly comprises: A private entrance hall with a stained glass panel door, a south-facing lounge with a period fireplace/surround, a separate kitchen, a guest WC, a modern bathroom with separate shower cubicle and two bedrooms – the main bedroom is especially spacious and features a wall of fitted wardrobes and a period fireplace/surround. The property has neutral décor and floor coverings throughout, benefits from gas central heating and a single garage (en bloc), plus use of the communal gardens. With the vibrant amenities of Headingley just a short stroll away, and with the advantage of no onward chain, this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase in a very desirable Headingley location.
